The specification is intended to be the implementation tool used to embed the requirements defined in the recently published new New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 5131 ‘Structural Steelwork – Fabrication and Erection’ into engineering and steelwork procurement practice in New Zealand. The specification presents:

Editable AS/NZS 5131 project-specific selections for you to configure the specification for your particular project or company.
